Oh, Snap: 30 Photography Gifts for Your Fave Shutterbug

With cameras getting cheaper and smartphones getting smarter, you don’t need a dark room these days to take an amazing picture. So whether you know a professional photographer or an amateur paparazzo, we’re sure there’s someone on your list this year who would love one of these gifts. From analog to digital to mobile, there’s something for every price range.

1. Polaroid Z2300 Instant Digital Camera ($179): Polaroid is totally having a moment right now thanks to Taylor Swift, but it’s always made a classic present for photographers. This model is actually a digital camera that takes photos and videos and then prints out your faves onto sticker sheets.

2. Polaroid PIC-300P Instant Film Analog Camera ($70): If you’re looking for a true Polaroid camera that’s been updated but not digitized, this one comes highly rated on Amazon. #nofilter

3. Impossible PX600 Color Shade Instant Film ($28): It felt like the end of an era when Polaroid announced that they were discontinuing their famous instant film a few years ago… but others have picked up where they left off, making them more vivid than ever before.

4. Floral Photo Clip String Set ($12): What to do with all those snapshots? These colorful clothespins would make a great display across the mantel.

5. Fujifilm Instax Printer ($220): This gift idea goes out those impatient photographers who want their photos in less than a minute.

6. Lomo Smartphone Film Scanner ($60): Another idea combining old and new camerawork is to digitally upload old 35mm film strips to your phone. Nothing beats the real thing, but it never hurts to have a backup copy, and it makes for the ultimate #tbt.

7. The Pocket Spotlight ($30): We gotta admit, smartphone cameras are pretty amazing, not to mention crazy convenient. But since they have their limitations, an add-on spotlight will vastly improve your nighttime shots.

8. Projecteo Slide Projector ($50): This is the ultimate toy for Instagram fanatics. You can create your own custom slide wheel of nine Instagram photos, then display them on this itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny projector. Isn’t this perfect for sharing photos with grandparents who don’t have a smartphone?

9. Olloclip 4-in-1 iPhone 6 Lens ($80): Know someone who upgraded to the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus this year? Give ‘em another upgrade by adding these popular fisheye, wide-angle, macro 10x and macro 15x lenses.

10. Got It! Remote ($22): Up your friend’s #OOTD game and get him/her out of the bathroom mirror with a remote-controlled clicker and stand for phones and tablets.

11. Pour and Shoot Mug ($15): Anyone who has ever spent hours upon hours of editing a photo shoot will appreciate this mug – especially if you pair it with some coffee grounds.

12. Moleskine Photo Book ($45): The makers of everyone’s favorite journal also create photo books, featuring the famous rounded corners, elastic strap and binding that ensures the book opens flat on every page.

13. DIY Konstructor Camera ($35): It says it’s good for ages 12 and up, and while we’re sure budding photographers will love learning to DIY their own camera, um… can we have one too?

14. Diana F+ Camera ($110): Usually the photographer is the one behind the lens, but we’re more tempted to take retro selfies with this beautiful honeycomb Diana camera.

15. SLRing ($9): Stocking stuffer for a fashion photographer? Check.

16. What Are You Waiting Photo Necklace ($13): Secret Santa present too? Double check.

17. XShot 2.0 Camera Extender ($20): Some people have a knack for the selfie, and others (yours truly) just… do not. Sure, it might be a super geeky accessory, but rather than relying on a passing stranger to take a decent portrait, do it yourself with this camera extender. We won’t tell anyone you used it!

18. Photo FX Kit ($25): Inject some pigment into someone’s Flickr feed with this kit, which includes color flour, a glass prism, a set of four LEDs and a rainbow peephole.

19. Solar Photography Kit ($15): No access to a darkroom? Try taking your images into the light instead. Photosensitive paper lets you turn just about anything into a work of bright blue art, like photo negatives, x-rays and everyday objects.

20. Lonely Planet’s Best Ever Photography Tips ($8): Even if you don’t know much about photography yourself, you can still drop some knowledge on a shutterbug.

21. Seaside Fotostrap ($85): Your friend isn’t still using that clunky starter kit camera strap, is she? Save her neck with one these leather and canvas beauties.

22. Bloom Theory Scarf Strap ($59): This is a terrific gift for either a tourist who wants to blend in with the crowd OR a fashionista who needs a coordinated outfit.

23. Artemis Leather Camera Case ($98): If she’s not the DSLR-toting kind of gal, a leather purse like this is ideal for fitting a digital camera.

24. Cheese! Camera Bag ($40): From the pages of a comic book to the real world, this bag will have everyone doing double takes.

25. Poler Camera Cooler ($39): You’re basically giving two gifts in one here. When it’s not acting as a camera bag (for a DSLR, accessories and tablets), it can be used as a cooler (pack it with seasonal beers for an extra present).

26. Camera Wrist Strap ($40): Anyone who loves candid snaps on a night out needs one of these to stay at the ready.

27. Underwater Camera ($20): Let them leave the expensive DSLR at home and take this little guy for trips like fishing, sailing, swimming and even snorkeling (it can be submerged up to 10 feet).

28. Photoshop Fridge Magnets ($25): Your graphic designer friend who just can’t leave work at the office will love this set of magnets.

29. ONA Chelsea Camera Bag ($369): Joke gifts and stocking stuffers aside, this is a practical present that any photographer will adore. It’s a stunning saffiano leather bowler bag on the outside and a spacious camera bag on the inside, with compartments for a camera, up to three lenses, personal items and a tablet.

30. ONA Brixton Camera Bag ($279): ONA makes some very handsome men’s bags as well, like this water-resistant waxed canvas and leather messenger case. Roomy enough for a camera, two or three lenses and up to a 13” laptop, it also has weather flaps to protect the gear.

After only two episodes of Only Murders in the Building season 4, Hulu renewed the series for season 5! I'm so excited that the show breaks a recent pattern of cancelling shows after the third or fourth season, giving us more time with our favorite characters, and I'm not the only one.

"Here we go again… my favorite set family. I’m coming home!" Selena Gomez says in an Instagram post, while the official Only Murders account made their own post, saying, "We had our lawyers call business affairs. Turned the 4 into a 5. #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding is coming back for Season 5!!"

Here's everything you need to know about Only Murders in the Building season 5, coming to Hulu soon.

What is Only Murders in the Building season 5 about?

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Plot

We finally got our first details about Only Murders season 5 — and we're going in a direction I totally didn't expect. When Sofia visits Mabel and Charles in the season 4 ending, and asks them to find her missing husband, she's disappointed when they turn her down. And since Téa Leoni just joined the season 5 cast, it looks like she's not taking no for an answer.

“I think she’s the great tease at the end of the finale and a little bit of an intriguing bump forward,” co-creator John Hoffman says in an interview with Deadline. “She’s an extension of the little news report in Episode 9 that Mabel makes note of at the hospital. [Sofia] is the wife of the Dry Cleaning King of Brooklyn, and maybe a couple of dry cleaning outlets in Manhattan, as well, we may come to know...It’s a world opened up potentially that we haven’t talked about too much yet in New York, so she holds a lot of intrigue.”

New York's underground is a wild space that we haven't really seen on Only Murders yet so I know we're in for one very interesting season — because if this show is going to go there, they're going to go there.

Executive producer Dan Fogelman told The Wrapwe can look forward to “another big fun mystery the writers have been cooking up," while Hoffman has gone on the record saying the new episodes will “hit on some very current things going on within New York, specifically very relevant things that are happening in the city right now.”

When is Only Murders in the Building season 5 coming out?

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Release Date

According to The Wrap, Only Murders is looking to begin production on season 5 in March of 2025. Considering we've had a new season over the last four years (with season 1 in 2021, season 2 in 2022, season 3 in 2023, and season 4 in 2024), we're expecting to see season 5 in 2025. Stay tuned for the official Only Murders in the Building season 5 release date.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Cast

The cast of Only Murders in the Building includes Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin. Téa Leoni will also return as Sofia Caccimelio, whose husband Nicky has gone missing.

According to Dan Fogelman, “we can expect more big guest stars that’ll probably be announced sooner rather than later,” he tells The Wrap.

Season 3 featured Ashley Park, Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, and Jesse Williams, while season 4 stars Streep, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, Desmin Borges, Siena Werber, Lilian Rebelo, and Molly Shannon.

"I am so grateful that I have been surrounded by human beings that make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift," Selena Gomez says about working with Martin and Short. "That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet."

Will there be an Only Murders in the Building season 5?

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

Yes, Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season 5! On September 4, Variety confirmed the next installment will have 10 episodes, just like the seasons before it. The latest season premiered on Hulu August 27, and will last until October 29 (just in time to try out an Only Murders Halloween costume!)

Just like the season 3 ending set up season 4, we'll have to wait for the October finale to figure out what kind of mayhem Mabel, Oliver, and Charles will get into next season. "We hope you like it!" Selena Gomez says in the Only Murders in the Building account's announcement, while Martin Short adds, "How exciting is that?"

"We're so exciting to be coming back," Steve Martin says. We're excited too!!

I’ve seen (and indulged in) so many food trends in my day, and at this point, it can take a lot to really impress me. That being said, there’s one simple hack on the rise right now that truly has me in a chokehold – people have started adding matcha to their McDonald’s milkshakes, and it’s totally transformed how I see mass-produced milkshakes from here on out.

Scroll on to discover the viral milkshake hack that’ll have your matcha cravings running wild!

Nataliya Vaitkevich / PEXELS

As a certified matcha freak (yeah, I said it), I've been disappointed at the lack of matcha offerings amongst fast food giants like McDonald's, Wendy’s, In-N-Out, and more. Of course, Starbucks and Dunkin’ scoop out matcha on the daily, but it never comes in true dessert form!

@eatsbyrachel

That’s where this viral milkshake hack comes in – foodies have been pulling up to the drive-thru with their own doses of matcha prepped and ready, then adding it to vanilla or even strawberry milkshakes. Oh, yum! The matcha turns the frozen treats a gorgeous green color, and of course, gently caffeinates each sip.

Matheus Henrin / PEXELS

I think any theoretical matcha dessert offering from popular destinations like McDonald’s or In-N-Out would surely see an up-charge if the chains were adding in the green powder themselves, so I’m also stoked about this new method from the perspective of affordability.

Anna Pou / PEXELS

This hack also presents those who are not yet totally sold on matcha (um, how?!) with an accessible way to enjoy the powdered green tea blend. Matcha drinks have an infamous reputation for tasting either too grassy or too bitter (or both), so mixing it into a milkshake sweetens up each sip to the point that it doesn’t taste at all like a traditional latte – but a full-on dessert!

Taylor Musser / Dupe

You can apply this super easy food hack to just about any milkshake from any chain that sells milkshakes like McDonald’s, Wendy’s (need me a Frosty, stat), In-N-Out, Dairy Queen, Sonic, and more. I suggest you pick your favorite place and try it out ASAP!

Sarah J. Maas is keeping readers in the dark about ACOTAR book 6 book 6, but that hasn't stopped fans from sharing elaborate theories about its plot! Our favorite ones revolve around Feyre's middle sister Elain and her overdue POV. For five books, we've watched her live in the shadows of her sister even after being thrown into a cauldron by the despicable King Hybern. She's only shared glimpses of her personality, but that's nothing compared to what readers feels she deserves.

Here's what BookTok thinks about ACOTAR book 6 being the moment we see Elain step into her power or worse

The first theory that stands out is one TikTok user @savannahlueckk shared in this video. Her caption says, "i have a theory that everyone is going to switch up on her and love her all the sudden lmao," in regards to Elain. I don't think anyone truly doubts where she's loved, but it's clear they're not allowing her to come into her own either. From there, the text overlay on the video compares Elain to "Rapunzel," calling out how she's been "sheltered and underestimated by everyone around her."

The first comment on the video says, "She is going to be a whole different person once we get her POV and I can’t wait" while the second comment refers to Frozen 2's song "Into the Unknown." "...just her hearing voices and getting frustrated with them and what they mean as well and learning to embrace her seer powers," user @emlechoppaa wrote.

Another theory by @thundernoblechristine refers to Elain's naturally extroverted personality and how she's currently dealing with everything she's experienced. She says, "Elain is unique in that out of all three of these sisters, she is the most extroverted and she clearly likes making friends...So it makes perfect sense to explore Elain's story as someone who processes trauma and gets to know people differently than Nesta and Feyre."

Only one comment mentioned Elain's potential mate which is great! @imaginedrealism wrote, "As goofy as it sounds, I want Elian with none of the people she is shipped with. She deserves someone totally normal not apart of the Far royalty drama, & it would be more interesting to see..."

But, we're not above leaning into the "Elain and Azriel Endgame theory. Tiktok user @abi.reads2 made her own video about why she thinks Elain and Azriel are meant to be together. She starts off reading a passage from A Court of Mist and Fury before revealing there's a point where the book left by the queen mentions "sing me." @abi.reads2 then points out that Azriel is a "shadowsinger," meaning he's able to detect things most people are unable to.

But @Shelbyaj319 has other thoughts. "I think Elain will manipulate them [Lucien and Azriel] into a blood duel or died or whatever and start a war. I think she’s the villain. She should have already denied the bond [with Lucien] by now yet hasn’t," she says.

There's so many different theories that could be right, but only Sarah J. Maas knows how ACOTAR book 6 will end!

I never shut up about Marvel, and I will continue to talk about it because my girl Sadie Sink is joining Spider-Man 4! Sources tell Deadline that the Stranger Things actress (who's starring in Broadway's John Proctor Is The Villain this spring) is set to join Tom Holland in his new superhero movie. Here's everything we know — from an absolute fangirl you can trust.

Sadie Sink is joining Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4, set to start filming this summer.

Sadie Sink will have a "significant" role in 'Spider-Man 4.'

Tom Holland confirmed that Spider-Man 4 is set to start filming in the summer of 2025, and Deadline reports that Sadie's role is "significant." Brit + Co reached out to Sony and Sadie Sink's reps for comment.

While we don't have any official news on the specifics of Sadie's character, considering the movie comes a couple of months after 2026's Avengers: Doomsday, I think there are a few characters Sadie would knock out of the park.

Is Sadie Sink playing Jean Grey?


With Sadie Sink's red hair, she would make a perfect variant for Zendaya's MJ (who is, herself, a version of Mary Jane from the comics). But with her sunny disposition and confidence, I could totally see her as Gwen Stacy too. My lead theory surrounding Avengers: Doomsday is that the characters we know so well will wind up in another universe — and could finally bring the X-Men into the MCU.

Even before Sadie's casting was confirmed, the leading rumor was that she'd join the MCU as Jean Grey/Phoenix, a role held by Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner in previous X-Men adaptations. And this is the role I hope we see her in!

Spider-Man fans will remember that No Way Home ended by erasing Peter Parker's existence from the world...but if Peter meets characters from another world (ahem, Jean), or if all our favorite heroes wind up in another world, the spell shouldn't affect them. And fighting to get back home is exactly the kind of theme I'd love to see in Spider-Man 4.
